Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 27, 1909.

Application filed August 12, 1908. Serial No. 448,098.

To all wkom'z'tmcy concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD WEoK, acitizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, State of New ,York, and useful Improveof which the following is a have invented a new merit in Razors, specification.

. The object of this invention is to provide an article of this class with a removable blade so that whenevera blade becomes dull, it may be removed and a new one substituted therefor. This object is accomplished by my invention, one embodiment of which is described below.

For a more particular description of my in vention, reference is to be had to the accompailrl ying drawings forming a .part hereof, in W 0 7 I Figure 1 is a view of my improved razor. Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 3. Figs? is a sectional view taken on the line'33 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is an en- Fig. 5 is a sectional view takenon the line 55 of Fig. 4. Fig. dis a perspective view of the holder.

Throughout the various views of the d rawings similar reference My improved razor consists of a handle 1, a hold er 2 and a blade 3 which holder by the aid of a backing 4' which is secured to the blade 3.

The handle 1 is of conventional form and consists of two plates 5 and 6 respectively united atone end by a pin 7 and at the other endby a pivot 8 which passes through perforations formed in the holder 2 and thereby mounts the said holder in the handle.

The holder 2is preferably made out ofone piece of sheet metal and preferably consists of two parallel sides 10 and 11 united by a back 12 and also by a front 13 which extends parallel with the back 12 adjacent to the ivot 8. One end of the holder 22 forms a iandle 1'4, shaped substantially as shown, by whlch the razor may be opened or closed. The holder 2 from a oint 13 to the end adacent to the handle forms a tang. The back 12 is rounded from extreme end so as to fit snugly against the backing 4 and is also provided with an incharacters designate is held in the a point 13 to its I wardly extending projection 17 to limit the movement of the blade 3 in the holder 2 toward the handle 1. The holder 2 is also provided with a recess 15 adapted to receive a thumb ofthe user so, that he can firmly grasp the razor while it is in back 12 hold the sides 10 and in their parallel relation.

4, The blade is formed of sheet st'eel ands' given a cutting edge 16 ofppositethe backing 4. The backing 4 is pre erably bent around the other edge of the blade 3 as shown in-- Fig. 5. This backing is so shaped and roportioned as to fitin the holder ,3; wit av firm fit, and yet this blade canbe-removed from the holder by gentlepressure a ainst.

the end near the handle and another lade inserted; This change ma be made'as often as desired or whenever a b ade becomes dull.

The sides 10 and 11 of the holder 2 are not straight but slightly curved so that when the blade 3 is inserted the backing 4 has its curved edge against the curved portion 13 of the back 12 and its two edges in contact with the edges of the backing 4 near the cutting edge 16'. This'produces a snug fit and produces an article whichcan be kept clean and sanitary at all times.

While I have shown and described one embodiment of my invention, it is obvious that it is IlOhIQStllCiDGd thereto, but is broad enough to cover all structuresthat come '85 within the scope ot. the annexed claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is, I

In a device of the class described,'a=handle, a holder pivoted thereto formed of one integral piece of stamped metal, said holder comprising a tang with four opposed sides adjacent to the pivot, a thurn, recess, a curved back with parallel sides adaptedto retain a blade, and

surface of the back about midwa for ara projection on the inner I955 resting the sliding movement of t e blade,

a blade with backing folded over one edge of said blade and. ac'iapted to be slidably engaged by the parallel sides of the holder.
